Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install value-engineering-analysis

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent identifies the most costly items, looks for functionally equivalent alternatives in CWICR and documents the trade-offs in a value engineering proposal. You get a list of possible savings and their justification.
